Unforgettable - By: Akida93, 15 Sep 2006 
No wildlife lover should be without a copy of this extraordinary (but true!) story. It is split into three parts!
Born Free: Follows the life of Elsa as an orphaned lion cubin Kenya until she grows up & is taught on how to be a wild lion.
Living Free: Follows the life Elsa & her three young cubs.
Forever Free: Elsa tragically dies of an illness & her cubs are taken to the Serengetiin Tanzania to be released into the wild.
All took my breath away as I read about, not just the lives of the lions, but of the people around them.
A True Love Story - By: , 14 Dec 2001 I'm 39 years old now so was a young girl when the film of Born Free was released. I must have been about nine or ten years old when I first read these books after seeing the film at the cinema & they've stayed with me ever since. They opened my eyes to another world & awakened an interestedin conservation. They helped changed many peoples attitudes about the purpose of zoos ie: the emphasis now on conservation rather than just places for a day out.
But the overriding memory these books left me with is one of true love & devotion between a human being & a wild animal. These books are a wonderful introduction to the wildlife & wonders of Africa - recommended
